In this episode of the East Anglian Traditional Music Trusts Big Sky Traditions, I go further into my exploration of step dancing in Eat Anglia, travelling down to Maldon, Essex, to meet Mo, Lilly and John. All three of them come from the Traveller community having been born and raised in horse drawn carts, seeing the way life as a Traveller changed throughout the twentieth century. This episode is sort of split into two halves, one half being a general conversation on what life was like to be a Traveller in the 20th Century, and the other half on the significance of music to them and how step dancing played a key part in this. Enjoy!
